Robert Bauval

Hace casi dos décadas Robert Bauval, un ingeniero interesado en la egiptología, llegó a una sorprendente conclusión que ha significado la teoría más revolucionaria de los últimos tiempos en lo que se refiere al conocimiento de la civilizacion egipcia. Dicha teoria afirma que la disposicion de las tres piramides de la meseta de Gizeh corresponden a las tres estrellas que forman el llamado cinturon de Orion en la constelacion del mismo nombre. Este descubrimiento sorprendente lleva aparejado el hecho crucial de que, por tanto, las piramides fueron planificadas y construidas como un conjunto segun un diseño unico, y no como hasta ahora se creia. A pesar de que esta tesis significa un replanteamiento practicamente total de lo que se sabia de la civilizacion faraonica y que, por tanto, ha encontrado logicas resistencias, la realidad es que cada vez mas egiptologos y estudiosos han dado validez a las investigaciones de Bauval por las aplastantes pruebas que aporta. Dichas investigaciones vieron por primera vez la luz en esta obra que ahora se reedita precisamente por la actualidad, eco e interes que la llamada Teoria de Orion esta despertando en todos los amantes de la atrayente civilizacion egipcia. "Cautivador y fascinante, la forma de presentar sus conclusiones esta planteada claramente y de forma convincente, un libro que no podra dejar de leer" (Sunday Times)

Como culminación de su trabajo en El misterio de Orión y Guardián del Génesis, Robert Bauval nos lleva a la búsqueda de un tesoro cuyo inicio se remonta en el tiempo más de 4.000 años y que está a punto de alcanzar su momento culminante. ¿Existe una camara secreta en la Gran Piramide o una Sala de los Archivos bajo la Esfinge de Gizeh? ¿Cuando se abriran? ¿Y, quien lo hara? ¿Que vinculos existen entre el vertice de la Gran Piramide, la estrella Sirio, la estrella de Belen y las ciudades de Paris, Washington y el Nuevo Orden mundial propuesto por la Francmasoneria? ¿Que tiene que ver la segunda venida de Cristo con la apertura de la mitica Sala de los Archivos?

Guardián del Génesis es un trabajo casi detectivesco de investigación histórica, que, sirviéndose de datos de la geología y complejos simulacros de los firmamentos de otra era obtenidos mediante ordenador, que se situan en el terreno de la arqueoastronomia...

New research and evidence that the Sphinx is thousands of years older than previously thought Contrasts what Egyptologists claim about the Sphinx with historical accounts and new research including reanalysis of seismic studies and updates to Schochs water weathering research and Bauvals Orion Correlation Theory Examines how the Sphinx is contemporaneous with Gobekli Tepe, aligned with the constellation Leo, and was recarved during the Old Kingdom era of Egypt Reveals that the Sphinx was built during the actual historical Golden Age of ancient Egypt, the period known in legend as Zep TepiNo other monument in the world evokes mystery like the Great Sphinx of Giza. It has survived the harsh climate of Egypt for thousands of years and will remain long after our own civilization is gone. According to orthodox Egyptology, the Sphinx was built around 2500 BCE as a memorial to the pharaoh Khafre. Yet this fact has scant to no supportive evidence. When was the Sphinx really built and, most importantly, why?In this provocative collaboration from two Egyptology outsiders, Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., and Robert Bauval combine their decades of research to show how the Sphinx is thousands of years older than the conventional Egyptological timeline and was built by a long forgotten pre-Pharaonic civilization. They examine the known history of the Sphinx, contrasting what Egyptologists claim with prominent historical accounts and new research, including updates to Schochs geological water weathering research and reanalysis of seismic studies. Building on Bauvals Orion Correlation Theory, they investigate the archaeoastronomical alignments of the monuments of the Giza Plateau and reveal how the pyramids and Sphinx were built to align with the constellations of Orion and Leo. Analyzing the evidence for a significantly older construction phase at Giza and the restoration and recarving of the Sphinx during the Old Kingdom era, they assert that the Sphinx was first built by an advanced pre-Pharaonic civilization that existed circa 12,000 years ago on the Giza Plateau, contemporaneous with the sophisticated Gobekli Tepe complex. The authors examine how the monuments at Giza memorialize Zep Tepi, the Golden Age of legend shown here to be an actual historical time period from roughly 10,500 BCE through 9700 BCE. Moving us closer to an understanding of the true age and purpose of the Great Sphinx, Schoch and Bauval provide evidence of an early high civilization witnessed by the Great Sphinx before the end of the last ice age.

A firsthand, behind-the-scene account of the controversies surrounding modern explorations at Giza Investigates the recent scandals at Giza and claims of secret excavations and tunneling inside the Great Pyramid Reveals the historical evidence in support of secret chambers in the Great Pyramid and beneath the Great Sphinx Exposes the secret agendas behind the latest explorations on the Giza plateau Since 1993 Robert Bauval has been embroiled in the many controversies involving the search for the lost treasures of the pyramid builders and the quest for the legendary Hall of Records of Atlantis. The strange but true story that he unfolds implicates American business moguls, the prestigious National Geographic Society, several Ivy League universities, the Edgar Cayce Foundation, the Freemasons, Christian fundamentalists, Zionists, and the Egyptian government. In this fully updated edition of Secret Chamber, including new color photographs, Robert Bauval pursues his in-depth investigation of clandestine events at Giza and the role played by the controversial ex-Minister of Antiquities Dr. Zahi Hawass. What lies behind the mysterious doors at the end of the star shafts in the Great Pyramid? What do the mysterious inscriptions found behind the Gantenbrink door mean? What is the real purpose of the Relief Chambers and the red ochre graffiti in them? Who is behind the secretly tunneling and excavating in these chambers, and why? Is there really a hidden Hall of Records from Atlantis beneath the Great Sphinx? Is the Great Pyramid just a tomb or does it serve a higher purpose involving a lost science of immortality? Why do the ancient texts ascribe the Pyramids design to the supreme god of wisdom Thoth, the writer of the fabled Books of Hermes? Will the Great Pyramid prove to be the missing link to our true origins or a metaphysical machine to access the world beyond? Providing a firsthand account of the strange events that have taken place at the Giza plateau in the last three decades, Bauval reveals the hidden agendas behind these events and raises important questions about the meaning of Egypts ancient structures and the very origins of civilization.

In passato la Valle del Nilo non era il luogo mite e fertile di ora, ma una palude inospitale, infestata dai rettili e afflitta da malattie. Attorno al 12000 a.C. quando lultima era glaciale volgeva la termine, inondazioni catastrofiche si riversarono nel Nilo dai laghi dellAfrica Centrale ingrossati dagli implacabili monsoni, che spazzarono via tutto al loro passaggio rendendo invivibile la Valle del Nilo. Ma gradualmente il clima si riscaldo e stabilizzo. Lentamente le paludi si ritirarono e le umide mangrovie lasciarono il posto a una meravigliosa vallata verde ai confini del deserto. A giugno alluvioni piu moderate irrigarono la terra adiacente con abbondanti fertilizzanti trasformando la valle in una colossale fattoria.

A revolutionary book that explains the most enigmatic and fascinating wonder of the ancient world: the Pyramids of Egypt.In 1993, German robotics engineer Rudolf Gatenbrink discovered a sealed door within the Great Pyramid of Giza--a door left unopened for 4,500 years. With this discovery, Robert Bauval--who spent the decade prior to the discovery researching the pyramids--and Adrian Gilbert used astronomical data to reveal that more than just tombs, the pyramids were created to serve as a gateway to the stars; in the process, they uncovered what they believe to be the key to the plan that governed the construction of the great pyramids: the Orion Constellation."[An] absorbing and fascinating work of archaeological detection...clearly and rivetingly told...the book is highly and compulsively readable."--London Sunday Times.

Presents proof that an advanced black African civilization inhabited the Sahara long before Pharaonic Egypt Reveals black Africa to be at the genesis of ancient civilization and the human story Examines extensive studies into the lost civilization of the Star People by renowned anthropologists, archaeologists, genetic scientists, and cultural historians as well as the authors archaeoastronomy and hieroglyphics research Deciphers the history behind the mysterious Nabta Playa ceremonial area and its stone calendar circle and megaliths Relegated to the realm of archaeological heresy, despite a wealth of hard scientific evidence, the theory that an advanced civilization of black Africans settled in the Sahara long before Pharaonic Egypt existed has been dismissed and even condemned by conventional Egyptologists, archaeologists, and the Egyptian government. Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting this hugely debated theory of the black African origin of Egyptian civilization. Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and their own archaeoastronomical and hieroglyphic research, the authors show how the early black culture known as the Cattle People not only domesticated cattle but also had a sophisticated grasp of astronomy; created plentiful rock art at Gilf Kebir and Gebel Uwainat; had trade routes to the Mediterranean coast, central Africa, and the Sinai; held spiritual and occult ceremonies; and constructed a stone calendar circle and megaliths at the ceremonial site of Nabta Playa reminiscent of Stonehenge, yet much older. Revealing these Star People as the true founders of ancient Egyptian civilization, this book completely rewrites the history of world civilization, placing black Africa back in its rightful place at the center of mankinds origins.

Compelling evidence that life, intelligence, and evolution on Earth were seeded by comets and cosmic intelligence Explains how life first came from interstellar dust and comets and how later arrivals of cosmic dust and comets spurred evolution Explores the possibility that universal knowledge may be stored in human DNA and how ancient cultures may have known a way to retrieve this knowledge Reveals new discoveries about the dimensions of the Great Pyramid of Giza All ancient cultures link humanitys origins to the heavens. The Egyptians, for example, were adamant that their ancestors came from the stars of Orion and Sirius. Today, however, religion and science assert that life arose spontaneously here on Earth. Did the ancients know our true cosmic origins? Have they left us clues? Expanding on the panspermia theory developed with the celebrated astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle--namely that the building blocks of life were imported to Earth by comets in the distant past--Chandra Wickramasinghe and Robert Bauval explore the latest findings in support of a cosmic origin for humanity. They detail the astrobiological discoveries of organic molecules deep in space, how microbes are incredibly resistant to the harshest conditions of space--enabling the transfer of genes from one star system to another, and the recent recovery of microorganisms from comets still in space. They argue that the universe was born and preset with the blueprint of life and that the cosmos must be teeming with lifeforms far older and perhaps far more developed than us. They show how life arrived on our planet in the form of interstellar dust containing alien bacteria approximately 3.8 billion years ago and how later comets, meteoroids, and asteroids brought new bacterial and viral genetic material, which was vital for evolution. Using the latest advances in physics, cosmology, and neuroscience, the authors explore how universal knowledge may be stored in human DNA and cells, and they postulate that ancient cultures, such as the pyramid builders of Egypt and the temple builders of India, may have known a way to retrieve this knowledge. Sharing new discoveries from experienced architects, engineers, and mathematicians, they show how the Great Pyramid is a three-dimensional mathematical equation in stone, bearing a potent message for humanity across time and space about who we are and where we come from.

Exposes the many cycles of monument destruction and cultural suppression in Egypt from antiquity to the present day Details the vandalism of Egyptian antiquities and suppression of ancient knowledge under foreign rulers who sought to cleanse Egypt of its pagan past Reveals the real reason behind Napoleons invasion of Egypt: Freemasonry Shows how the censorship of nonofficial Egyptology as well as new archaeological discoveries continued under Antiquities Minister Zahi Hawass Called the Mirror of Heaven by Hermes-Thoth and regarded as the birthplace of civilization, science, religion, and magic, Egypt has ignited the imagination of all who come in contact with it since ancient times--from Pythagoras and Plato to Alexander the Great and Napoleon to modern Egyptologists the world over. Yet, despite this preeminence in the collective mind, Egypt has suffered considerable destruction over the centuries. Even before the burning of the Great Library at Alexandria, the land of the pharaohs was pillaged by its own people. With the arrival of foreign rulers, both Arabic and European, the destruction and thievery continued along with suppression of ancient knowledge as some rulers sought to cleanse Egypt of its pagan past. Exploring the many cycles of destruction and suppression in Egypt as well as moments of salvation, such as the first registered excavations by Auguste Mariette, Robert Bauval and Ahmed Osman investigate the many conquerors of Egypt through the millennia as well as what has happened to famous artifacts such as the Rosetta Stone. They show how Napoleon, through his invasion, wanted to revive ancient Egyptian wisdom and art because of its many connections to Freemasonry. They reveal how the degradation of monuments, theft of relics, and censorship of ancient teachings continue to this day. Exposing recent cover-ups during the tenure of Antiquities Minister Zahi Hawass, they explain how new discoveries at Giza were closed to further research. Clearing cultural and historical distortions, the authors reveal the long-hidden and persecuted voice of ancient Egypt and call for the return of Egypt to its rightful place as the Mother of Nations and the Mirror of Heaven.

An examination of the cultural occupations of Egypt over the past two millennia and how we can return to the sacred harmony of ancient Egypt Explores the golden civilization of ancient Egypt and its system of natural magic that birthed the Western Mystery tradition Examines each phase of Egyptian history from the Pharaonic period, through the Roman conquest, to the ongoing Islamization Provides a revised portrait of the life of Muhammad, revealing his connections to the Essene tradition Imagine the paradise of ancient Egypt: a lush green valley with a gentle river, full of animals and birds of all sizes. The first settlers, arriving by way of the desert, would have marveled at this beautiful landscape. This awe held on through the first three millennia of settlement in Egypt. Centered on careful observations of the natural rhythms of their environment, particularly the Nile, this enlightened civilization lived in a state of spiritual balance and harmony they called living in Maat. This state was further enhanced by the sacred landscape of Egypt and the colossal monuments and pyramids the Egyptians built to reflect the heavens, thus creating a cosmic spiritual engine for the ancient world. But sadly, the paradise and Maat of ancient Egypt were not to last, and for the past two thousand years Egypt has experienced many occupations by hostile forces bent on taking control of this magical land. Exploring the exemplary social and cultural model that produced the golden civilization of ancient Egypt as well as the many waves of conquest and destruction up to the present day, Robert Bauval and Ahmed Osman examine each phase of Egyptian history from its origins and the Pharaonic period, through the Roman conquest and its Christianization, to the Pan-Arabization of Nasser and the ongoing Islamization that began with the Muslim caliphate in the 7th century. They show how the current Islamic rulers are actively working to eradicate all traces of Egypts spiritual roots, the source of the Western Mystery tradition. They provide a revised portrait of the life of Muhammad, revealing his connections to the Essene tradition, and explain how most Sharia Law is not based on the Koran. Revealing how even the dams built on the Nile are impeding Egypts sacred role, the authors sound the call for a return to the original tenets of Egyptian civilization, one that sustained itself in harmony and peaceful creativity for more than three millennia.

En estas paginas, los autores desvelan la existencia de una gran conspiracion mundial cuyas raices se encuentran en el antiguo Egipto y se extienden hasta Paris, Washington, Nueva York o Israel. Graham Hancock y Robert Bauval ponen de manifiesto la existencia de una religion secreta cuyas creencias han dado forma al mundo y a la arquitectura de muchas ciudades convirtiendolas en autenticos talismanes.

El mensaje secreto de las estrellas¿Qué motivó a los egipcios a construir las pirámides? ¿La distribución aparentemente ilógica de las pirámides no tendría que ver más bien con consideraciones religiosas y astronomicas? ¿Por que estaban orientadas hacia constelaciones importantes como Orion? ¿Eran un simbolo de la eternidad? ¿Que impulso a un pueblo hace cinco mil años a trabajar durante varias generaciones extrayendo, transportando, recogiendo, cortando y dando forma a cincuenta millones de toneladas de piedra?Codigo Egipto no se parece a ningun libro anterior y abarca toda la civilizacion del antiguo Egipto como nunca se habia hecho antes. Se ha escrito mucho sobre como habrian hecho los egipcios para alinear sus monumentos con tanta precision, pero la pregunta que siempre ha quedado sin respuesta es por que.
